So you've tracked me down...

Be sure to check out my Youtube profile for all of my videos.

A very nice and exciting update to look forward to. I can't wait to try out the new shieldless maps. I really enjoy these weekly updates, they really do seem to get better every week now!

I'm sorry to see RBTB go because it was my favorite playlist but I understand the reason why. Too long wait times mainly. As much as I liked it I've stopped playing it because of the wait times and then when I do finally get into a game I'm playing against a whole party of Generals while my team is all individuals. No fun at all.

I love the Squad Battle playlist idea. It seems to have some potential. People who are worried about 6v6 on big maps never played DLC Objective before. Trust me it's fun. I've played 5v5 on Valhalla in Social Skirmish and it was fun. So don't worry about it. I think these changes will really benefit us in the long run.

I also like the shieldless doors. Makes for better slayer games without people hiding behind them all the time.

Lonewolves up to 8. Lots of mayhem will ensue. Having a Big Team DLC will be great especially for those of us who will miss RBTB & SBTB.

Infection is FINALLY in a playlist. WOO! HOO!

GREAT UPDATE BUNGIE !!!

Disappointing...

You're removing too much. Don't get me wrong, all the additions I see are good. But removing RBTB, BTB, and Head to Head is a huge disappointment. Instead what we get is a DLC Big Team which will presumably be played (almost) entirely on DLC maps, and there are only about 3 DLC maps big enough.

  • 08.23.2008 5:48 PM PDT

so what im understanding to a certain point is that maybe the legendary will be reduced again or free, since most of the new playlists require all dlc. and r we going to download the new maps like we downloaded cold storage or are they going to be available in recent maps

I think its a great update, BTB and RBTB just didn't seem to interest me very much, and now I wont have to put up with all the party invites for clan groups to try and get 50's in it. I also can't wait for people to complain about not having the shield doors.

However, I disagree with the whole 2v2 thing to win recon at PAX, I mean, what are all the people under 18, which makes up about half or more of the people playing Halo 3 on XBL, going to be able to do to have a chance at getting Recon. Are we just going to be left to see many more people wearing Recon and thinking how we could have gotten it only if our parents would have let us go?

Stupid in my opinion...

Sad about both RBTB And Social BTB disappearing

  • 08.23.2008 6:29 PM PDT

I was reading through alot of the posts and was happy to see that i'm not the only one that wants BTB back. I also saw some posts requesting retiring default Foundry, and maybe adding a customs community map hopper instead. Some of the Forgehub best of 1st half 2008 are insane for Foundry like "End of the Line" or "Pallet Parade". Is it even possible to put a custom forge map in a matchmaking hooper?

  • 08.23.2008 7:06 PM PDT

Wow. Sucks to be me. I find myself hating every change announced.

Cool updates, but I'm curious.
What happens to the people who have a level 50 only in RBTB or Head to Head?
Will they still have a highest skill of 50?

  • 08.23.2008 7:47 PM PDT

Nooooooooooooooo! Not Big Team! I can understand axing ranked big team but why social? In my opinion Big Team is what Halo is all about. Getting some friends together, jumping on a warthog together and taking out some noobs. Congrats, you have deleted one of my favorite parts of Halo.

I'm getting sick and tired of more and more playlists REQUIERING all of the maps. I'd like to continue playing Doubleteam without the maps, and I would love to be able to play SWAT. No wonder I went from playing 5 hours a day to once a month for maybe an hour. It's unfair that I can't play the game I paid $70 for, online. What ever happened to this filter, that was mentioned in the past, that doesn't pair people without the DL content to people that do? I don't think that maps that have to be purchesed should be required for play. Players should WANT to have them not NEED to have them. In the past we've been told to blame MS for the map costs, but it is Bungie's blame for messing with my gaming experiance. Bungie has steadily deminished my desire to even look at Halo, let alone play it.

Let the hateful comments commence.

Life is full of choices. Sometimes you make the good ones, and sometimes you have to kill all the witnesses.

But then you have to pay the liability insurance.

I was gonna use RBT to get up to lvl 10,since i've platued on Team slayer and I loved RR,i used to unwind and help get a bit of XP, I'm just curious,but if this has been mentioned before sorry,my internet is being rude and won't let me do a search, but why were both RBT and RR removed?

Please consider enlisting in the UNSC's Black Water Ops Program. Led by Recon and featured multiple time in Bungie's Community Spotlight. We have over 4000 members in just over 9 months and we are growing everyday. I hope to see at BWO!

I have 4 questions about the PAX:
1) Where is this going to be?
2) Are you guaranteed to be able to play Bungie?
3) Should we bring a "lucky" controller if we would like?
4) Are we guaranteed recon if we win?

  • 08.23.2008 8:50 PM PDT

I don't get what they r doing with the pit spawns or what ever, could someone plz explain?

  • 08.23.2008 8:51 PM PDT

:O! Very surprised face! Were we warned about rocket race??? Someone call the WAAAAAAAAAAHmbulance! I'm passing out from Rocket Race deficiency!
And I knew RBTB was going, but why not hold on to Social for the people who do like it?
